We have a majority on the court that seems to believe anything not explicitly stated in the dogshit US constitution should be reversed. At this point I wouldn't be shocked if they said the EPA and National Parks are unconstitutional and must be handled exclusively by the states.
What you really need is an executive branch that tells the courts to take a walk. If they can't enforce their decisions, it doesn't matter how bad they are.
Not saying that wouldn't rock, but the executive ignoring the courts explicitly would lead to the collapse of the government and probably some kind of coup.
They have a 6-3 majority on SCOTUS and probably Republicans will win in 2022 and 2024. The GOP was slow and methodical before, now they are just going for it.
At this point I wouldn’t be shocked if they said the EPA
They've de facto said this about the EPA already. I believe the EPA is no longer allowed to use their own expertise and can only control substances in the water and air explicitly listed by congress and levels explicitly listed by congress. Or something along those lines.
I guess its expected soon: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00618-1
I believe the case is about carbon, but I imagine the ruling will give legal justification that on a long enough time scale the conservative Supreme court can slowly chip away at the EPA. I mean that's not exactly crazy, it's what they did with abortion rights.
A federal court ruled like a month ago that Congress didn't have the power to delegate regulatory authority to agencies like the SEC. So we're already most of the way there, just need to let that case filter up to SCOTUS

That assumes that the originalists are consistent or genuinely believe in originalism, but they unfortunately do not

Promise? :bloomer:
They’ve already done that in the past and the country is still here. :shrug-outta-hecks:
Andrew Jackson was way more intimidating and uncivil than basically any modern American politician tho, especially :biden-troll: .

The Origins of judicial review is a case about the legitimacy of judicial review brought before the Supreme Court. Which is so funny.

The court has investigated allegations of wrongdoing and found itself innocent.
But the judiciary says it is!!
Only good thing Andrew Jackson ever said as far as I can tell is "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."
I also uphold Jackson caning and shooting fellow politicians over minor disagreements.
We really need to bring back that good old American spirit of beating the shit out of each other back to capital hill.
wasn’t that in response to the courts telling him the trail of tears was illegal and he had to stop commiting genocide
yeah he was a genuine shitbag

what's the point in debating about accelerationism in the abstract when they're shooting missiles at the goddamn pedal. :this-is-fine:
Those dirty commies Nixon and Wilson

can SOTUS precedence that things are unconstitutional be used to prove that the SOTUS is unconstitutional?
